Check out this beautiful cumulonimbus cloud. This was a strong storm over St. Martin Parish. The VIL was pretty high with it, so it may have been producing some hail.#lawx
#Milton is now a Category 5 #hurricane with max winds of 160 mph. Milton joins Michael as the only October Category 5 hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in the satellite era (1966-onwards).
